Environmental Flooring Solutions for Vancouver, WA

Glass Tiles

Recycled glass materials are made into elegant glass tiles for tile walls, accents and backsplash solutions. This sustainable option is a budget-friendly alternative for kitchens, bathrooms and other areas in homes across the nation. Glass tile has advantages similar to other environmentally friendly materials, and is easy to maintain as well. Mold won't attach to it in humid conditions and is non-absorbent, so it won’t stain. Floor Coverings International® has a wide variety of glass tiles that come in various colors, patterns, and finishes great for any design.

Bamboo Floors

Another flooring material that’s become common in homes throughout Vancouver, WA, is our bamboo variety, which is manufactured from compressed grass that produces a sturdy, hard surface. We can easily install it for you, and it is easy when it comes to the upkeep with regular cleaning. Bamboo is more sustainable than other materials because it can be used more often since it grows quickly. Speak with our Design Associates for more information about what this floor type would look like in your home.

Cork Flooring

Cork floors are a smart environmentally friendly flooring solution. This kind of flooring is produced with the bark of the cork oak tree. Because it’s only the bark, the tree itself is not harvested and the bark can grow back, so cork floors are a sustainable flooring material. An advantage property owners have found with cork flooring is that it has antimicrobial qualities that can reduce allergens and it’s a natural repellent for insects. Cork flooring is typically sealed, which makes it easy to maintain. It can also be painted or stained, so you could fit it in with any aesthetic. The cork flooring options we have at Floor Coverings International® are made to last upwards to 25 years. You can’t go wrong with cork floors.

Linoleum

The industry has has gotten better with more style options available for property owners who want linoleum floors. Our linoleum flooring is produced out of tree resins, pigments, wood flour, cork dust, linseed oil and ground limestone. This new and improved combination of materials makes this floor type more fire retardant and repellant towards water. It’s environmentally friendly while giving you many different styles to pick from and having the ability to withstand foot traffic for many years.
